Efficient resource management is critical for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) to provide consistent, high-quality service in remote and under-served regions.
Traditional single-point prediction methods, such as Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), are insufficient for NTN resource allocation scenarios due to the complexity of satellite dynamics, signal latency, and coverage variability.
Probabilistic forecasting techniques, like SFF, are evaluated and found to be effective in predicting bandwidth and capacity requirements in different NTN segments.
The use of probabilistic forecasting models in integrated Terrestrial Network (TN)-NTN environments can optimize resource allocation by providing accurate and reliable predictions while quantifying uncertainty.
